Our Breeding Plan for a New Century!

We found the right combination of breeding for our Lockhard German Shorthaired Pointers with Lockhard's Miss Millie and Ivory's Big Oaks Sam (Tommy, Jr.), however Millie had her last litter in 2009. They produced some fabulous pups, with only positive feedback from puppy owners. Many of these dogs hunted at the same club as us, and recognizing them in the field gave us great satisfaction. We were pleased to hunt behind them or watch them hunt in the field. Nothing gave us more satisfaction than seeing them mature

Don’t think for a minute that the Ivory's Big Oaks Sam/Miss Millie's lines are gone. Let’s talk about Lockhard’s Maude. Tommy, Jr. is her daddy and Maude has the style and mannerisms that we're looking for! Seeing the proven litter that Lockhard's Gus produced, an option would be to introduce Gus (Millie's brother) as Maude's stud. Gus has matured into a fine bird dog, and you should hear his owners talk about his presence around the house. To boot, he is the best looking Shorthair in the country!

Up and coming is our new stud, Lockhard's Ohio Buckeye. Out of all the pups from Miss Millie's litters, Buck is the most personable and is showing a fine nose and temperament. We are excited about his upcoming breeding possibilities.

Both Maude and Buck will have their hips confirmed prior to breeding.

She is proving to have a great future as a bird and family dog. Her pedigree will be a great addition to our breeding plan.
